Attorneys You Can Trust to
Handle Your Legal Malpractice Claim
At Vaughan and Zuker, we understand that when you already feel like you've been "burned by an attorney once" — walking into another attorney's law office and asking them to help you sue your former lawyer can feel like asking for more trouble. What we also understand is that there are exceptionally few law firms willing to take on legal malpractice cases and that victims need someplace they can turn to for help.
Our lawyers have seen many different examples of legal malpractice over the last 30 years. Some of the common ones they've see again and again include:
- Missing a statute of limitations
- Missing a filing deadline
- Failing to subpoena witnesses
- Failing to take an action that results in serious tax or financial consequences to their client
- Trying to cover up a previous mistake
Talk to us about your legal malpractice claim today. Call us at (865) 684-4101 (local) or at (866) 770-9039 (toll free). You can also send us an e-mail to have one of our lawyers get in touch with you directly.
Legal Malpractice and Personal Injury Cases
If a plaintiff's personal injury attorney makes a mistake or is careless and ultimately loses the case — he or she may have committed some amount of professional negligence. However, unless the client can prove they would have won the case but for the attorney's mistake — they cannot succeed on a legal malpractice claim.
As a firm that's been handling personal injury cases for people in east Tennessee since the 1970s, we are able to identify the mistakes that previous attorneys made and to make compelling arguments before judges and juries. We strongly advocate for our clients to get the compensation they deserve.
